4.4 Desired standards of service

(2) Details of the standard of service for a trunk infrastructure network are identified in the extrinsic material.

Editor’s note—The desired standards of service provides a high level summary of the key planning and design standards of performance for a network of development infrastructure which comprises both non-trunk and trunk infrastructure. Non-trunk infrastructure must comply with the conversion criteria in the relevant charges resolution to be converted to trunk infrastructure.

4.4.1 Stormwater network

(a) to collect and convey stormwater flows during both major and minor flood events from existing and future land use, in a manner that minimises risk to property and life and reduces the cost of flood damage to the community;

(b) to achieve the appropriate level of flood immunity required by:

(i) Stormwater code;

(ii) Flood overlay code;

(iii) Infrastructure design planning scheme policy;

(iv) any other applicable code or standards in a local planning instrument.

(c) to achieve water quality objectives for receiving waters in accordance with the Infrastructure design planning scheme policy;

(d) to maximise or maintain the use of existing overland flow paths and waterway corridors as the major conveyance elements of the network;

(e) for items of stormwater infrastructure to be designed and delivered in accordance with the conveyance and design standards required by:

(i) the minimum desired capacity of minor and major drainage infrastructure is to be in accordance with the Infrastructure design planning scheme policy;

(ii) the maximum total depth of flow in a roadway is to be in accordance with the Infrastructure design planning scheme policy;

(iii) any other applicable codes and standards in a local planning instrument.

(b) support economic development through the efficient movement of transport and freight by maintaining and enhancing critical links and intersections connecting residential areas to employment areas, centres, education facilities and mixed use sites according to the Road hierarchy overlay code;

(c) district roads service a catchment of approximately 3,000 households for inner suburbs (within 5km of the CBD) and approximately 1,000 households for outer suburbs;

(d) plan, design and deliver the road network and associated infrastructure to comply with the following:

(iv) the off-peak operation of the road network provides a level of service C;

(v) the peak period operation of the road network provides a level of service C, except where the road network is highly constrained and the use of alternative modes of transport in these areas is anticipated in the mode share targets stated in Map C3 Transport Network DSS Mode Share Targets;

(viii) any other applicable code or standards in a local planning instrument.

Note—The desired standard of service for Public Parks apply across either of two identified service areas, namely Brisbane-wide, which includes all mainland areas of the Brisbane Local Government Area, and the Local Recreation Need Area, which comprises an area consistent with Brisbane’s Centres, Suburban Living Area and Future Suburban Living Area defined in the SFM-002 Brisbane CityShape 2031, Land Use Strategic Framework Map and includes the following zones – LDR, CR1, CR2, LMR1, LMR2, LMR3, MDR, HDR1, HDR2, NC, DC1, DC2, MC, PC1, PC2, PDA1, PDA2, PDA3, PDA4, SBCA, EC, MU1, MU2, MU3.

Note—It is assumed that residents living within the Local Recreation Need Area place an additional demand on the park network than those who live outside the Local Recreation Need Area. Those outside of the Local Recreation Need Area live in a more open, rural environment and would typically have ready access to private open space for their local recreation needs. Desired standard of service areas are identified in Map D2 - Public Parks Network DSS Areas.

Editor’s note—

(1) Recreation (Urban) parks provide for a range of formal and informal recreation opportunities in an urban setting and generally have a high level of infrastructure and high servicing/maintenance requirements.

(2) Recreation (Natural) parks provide for a range of formal and informal recreation opportunities in a mostly natural setting (e.g. waterway, bushland) and generally have a low level of infrastructure and low servicing/maintenance requirements.

Note—

(1) The rate of land provision should be calculated based on either residents or employees (not the aggregate of both), whichever represents peak demand i.e. whichever requires the greater provision of park land.

(2) For network planning purposes the provision standard for Urban Commons is based on a desired number of parks per Principal, Major or District Centre because these parks are integral to a centre and service both residents within and visitors to a centre. The desired provision standard for urban commons is as follows: Up to 1 per District centre (District zone precinct or Corridor zone precinct) e.g. West End, 1 per Major centre or Principal centre (Regional centre zone precinct) e.g. Upper Mt Gravatt and 5+ per Principal centre (City Centre zone precinct) e.g. Post Office Square.

Note—

All listed embellishments are trunk infrastructure.

Type A embellishments are the initial essential embellishment conditioned as part of a development approval. Type B embellishments are the medium term embellishment and are intended to be delivered by Brisbane City Council capital projects. Type C embellishments are the ultimate embellishment and are intended to be delivered by Brisbane City Council capital projects.

Site preparation includes the following: site clearing; stripping, stockpiling and re-use of existing site topsoil; earthworks; site drainage; and vegetation management.

The desired standard of service for the land for community facilities network is to provide an accessible network of land for community facilities that meets the needs of the population and employees in accordance with the following:

(e) future trunk infrastructure for the land for community facilities network meets an acceptable level of flood immunity identified in the Flood overlay code and has a gradient equal to or less than 1V:20H.
